Article Title: | Retrospective analysis of posaconazole suspension dosing strategies in a pediatric oncology population: Single-center experience |
Abstract: | Limited data on optimal posaconazole dosing strategies for pediatric patients exist. In this study, we found that the median initial dose in patients who achieved a posaconazole plasma concentration of 0.7 μg/mL was 22.8 mg/kg per day whereas the median initial dose in those who did not reach the target concentration was 15.8 mg/kg per day; this result suggests that higher initial doses might be warranted. © The Author 2017.
